LOGINKayden, Liam, and Nathan were back to being friends. After a night of arguments, apologizing to each other, and nearly getting drunk, they came up with a plan to find out whether the child in the orphanage belonged to Jessica. Kayden didn't want to doubt or suspect Jessica. It wasn't right to do that to his wife. But then again, Liam reminded him nicely that he did the same to Elise.He doubted Elise was a gold digger and had ulterior motives.Nathan decided to go to that orphanage in London where Liam's mother spotted that 5 year old child.The orphanage looked quite shabby and dirty. Nathan sighed. If that girl was really Jessica's child, how could she bear to let her own daughter that she gave birth to live in a place like this?He went inside and asked to speak with the director of the orphanage. A bald fat man came out to see him. As Nathan was dressed in a light brown three-piece suit that exuded luxury and power, the director was particularly friendly with him."Hello. I'm the
Kayden saw Jessica pushing herself over with a lot of difficulty. She was huffing and puffing, face pale and looking miserable."Jessica," He went over calmly and helped to move her wheelchair, passing the cotton candy to her."Kayden, I'm glad you're here. Thank you for the candy," Jessica took it. She bit into it slowly, looking at Kayden.Would he feed me the candy? She thought of making their relationship more interesting."Hmm," Kayden replied. He glanced at her, his eyes held a mysterious look as if he was avoiding her on purpose.Jessica didn't know why he was looking at her like this. Why did it seem like he was repulsed by her? But that can't be! Kayden loved her! He loved her the most, right?"Kayden, I..." Jessica trailed off when she looked at him, just as she wanted to ask him to feed her the candy.He was staring in the direction of where he saw Elise leave with Damien and Bianca.Damnit! Why was he still thinking about Elise? No, this can't do! She must try to get rid o
Elise turned and saw Jessica coming towards her in a wheelchair, calling her name with that sickly fake smile of hers. She made it sound as if they were good friends."Elise! I thought I saw you from afar. I'm so glad you're here," Jessica said in a friendly tone."Don't act as if we're close. We're not friends," Elise said, glaring at her so icily that Jessica was taken aback."Oh, sorry. My mistake. I apologize. Hello, Mr. D'Augstino and Mrs. King. Is Ellison here as well?" Jessica said."Why are you looking for him? What business do you have with him?""You misunderstood. I thought you were here with him because he's your boyfriend. But you seem close to Mr. D'Augstino as well. Won't that put Mrs. King in a tight spot?" Jessica said, appearing as if she were concerned. As a woman, Elise could sense the malice and hypocrisy beneath her tone.Jessica was subtly painting Elise as a cheating woman in front of Mrs. King.Bianca glared at Jessica. When she appeared in her wheelchair in f
"I called you because I had an accident. I never thought that I would get hit by a car while crossing the road. It was like the driver had some deep-seated grudge with me. My legs..." Jessica touched her leg gently, wincing. "I don't think I can walk anymore, Kayden! I'm so scared!"Tears started to fall from her eyes. She began to sniff and sob pitifully, her eyes red and puffy.Guilt crept into Kayden's heart. He should have answered the phone. He should have read her messages.He didn’t because he thought she was going to nag or pester him. He just wanted to avoid her and have some quiet time to think things through."I'm sorry, Jessie. I'm so sorry. I was busy..." Kayden knelt down to her level."It's okay. I don't blame you. I have never blamed you for anything, Kayden. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have made so many mistakes. Look what happened to me. Maybe it's karma. I'm so sorry, Kayde," Jessica choked on sobs, squeezing out more tears.A lot of tears fell from her eyes a
"Damien, I want you to teach me martial arts," Elise said, standing in his office. This was the first time she had stepped into his office. She also wanted to take this opportunity to thank him for saving her life.Damien leaned forward, fingers interlocking on the desk. "Really? Aren't you always avoiding me?""Even if I avoided you, you would still come back. There's no point. Besides..." Elise trailed off, thinking about the phone call she had with her stepmother last night.Bianca had called her after hearing about the incident. The conversation between them went from cursing Gary and the mastermind to Bianca advising her.Elise didn't want to tell her family about it, but Nikolai accidentally let it slip.Luckily, her father didn't hear any of it. If not, who knows what might happen to the whole city."Elise, just because you failed in one relationship doesn't mean you have to stop all your other relationships. People deserve a fair chance, don't you think? I'm not going to push
"You're shameless!" Elise scolded, turning her face away to hide the redness creeping up her cheeks. Why the hell was she blushing so easily? It was just a kiss to the forehead. He didn't even touch her lips."I have to be shameless to get your attention. Then... do I get to see you every day, principessa? You won't chase me away?" He looked at her hopefully. The skies were getting darker and darker. His eyes seemed to have become brighter."Does chasing you away work? You'll still stalk me," Elise sighed, pretending to be exasperated and angry at him. Truth was that she somehow couldn't bring herself to be angry after what happened today. Her mind was on the hitman and who wanted to kill her."No. I'll stalk you to the ends of the world," He didn’t release her waist. Instead, he pressed her against his chest harder, gazing into her eyes so intensely as if he wanted to set her on fire.Elise should be running, should be avoiding him and rejecting him. But somehow, there was something
Since when did Elise start to talk to them in that tone? Elise had never spoken back to them whenever they reprimanded or forced her to do something. So why was she acting different today?Jessica was sure that Elise was just pretending. After all, Elise was so obsessed and crazy about Kayden. She
Jessica bit her lips and looked at Elise with an innocent expression. But the way she looked at Elise could be easily mistaken as fear, like Elise had done something to her."Kayden, what game could I possibly play? Don't forget that there are cameras in here," Elise said coldly.Jessica nervously
The butler passed her the papers with a reluctant look. For the past three years, Elise had sacrificed and given her best to Kayden. But what did he give her? Nothing! Not even a gift or flowers! The only beautiful gift he had given her was these divorce papers."I think I should go. I'm sorry," Je
"What is this?" Elise stared at the documents placed on her desk. The large words printed in bold seemed like an ominous sign: DIVORCE AGREEMENT."The divorce papers. Don't forget how you married into my family, Elise Thatcher," Kayden Anderson said coldly, his dark eyes seemed to be assessing her.
